With fellow feeling for the beleagured mama, bird lover Jack Daw manages to sneak an ostrich egg out of the zoo, hatch it, raise it, and have a lot of adventures. This is a growing up story little Jack learns a lot, grows into big Jack and finds his calling in life. From the author of Babe (about the sheep pig), The Cuckoo Child provides fun, inspiration, and a lot of thought material for young and old.
